In Conversation With Aneela Sinha (Vice President, Operations), Aviva Life Insurance India Ltd
I worked in Aviva Life Insurance Company India Ltd. before joining IIM Rohtak. Although I worked there for a very short span of just 6 months, but I was able to establish a strong connection between me and my colleagues and my boss who is Deputy Vice President of Operations in the company. Upon encountering the competition from Vito Altor I knew who could help me with that, so I called up my boss to affirm if it was okay to call Mrs. Aneela Sinha, who happens to be Vice President of Operations and my boss’ boss. A very sweet yet a determined boss, she often had lunch with us in office as well as we went out on team lunches, but I didn’t have many conversations with her and that is why I called up my boss to brief her first. So upon calling her and briefing her about the complete scenario I asked her a couple of questions to which she answered comprehensively. Following is the excerpt from our telephonic conversation including just the questions.
